Somewhere around 3.5 stars... About half way through I thought I had it figured out and was disappointed that it was so easy, but alas in the last 40 pages or so the plot thickened and the ending did take me by surprise.

Das Buch war leider garnicht so meins. Die Story ist verwirrend und die Protagonisten abscheulich. Die Story an sich hätte richtig gut werden können, war aber nicht der Fall.

This book reminded me of an episode of Murder She Wrote

"Elizabeth Lange is haunted by the loss of her sister, Leila, who died mysteriously. Invited to Cypress Point Spa by a friend, she finds herself confronted by a cast of characters who all had motives for the killing. And she quickly discovers her own life may also be under threat." (From Amazon).
It was a fair mystery.

This was an interesting read. I had a lot of buildup to it because I'd heard about Mary Higgins Clark my whole life thanks to Gram :). I had anticipated it being a little creepier but maybe there are others that have a bit more of the scare factor to it. I guessed correctly early on, switched my answer halfway through and then about 3/4 of the way in I called it for sure. She did do a good job of making it seem like everyone was capable of it and yet not capable of it at the same time. Although I really wasn't personally connected or cared for the main character, it was a page-turner and I wanted to see whodunnit. I think it's hard to end a good mystery (one of the reasons why I love And Then There Were None so much) and this ending was particularly disappointing for me. Let's just say my eyes were rolling hardcore.

It was a perfect beach read of a mystery that took some fun twists and turns but it was nothing groundbreaking or unique. The character development left something to be desired but I don’t think this book was ever meant to be an in depth character study or anything.
